5.3 LS for 79 firebird motor mounts

(1/2) > >>

KyleKetterhagen:
I am new to this forum so I'm rather unfamiliar with some things as of right now.

I am currently building a 5.3 ls to put into my 1979 firebird. I am pretty confused on which engine mounts to use. I am not fond of spending anything more than $150 but if there is no other option, I must. I have heard some people use SBC to LS billet mounts, but I'm not sure that it will work because its a Pontiac engine and chassis. So is there anybody who can clarify for me the best and cheap option to do. I am not looking for anything high end because I am not building a high end motor, just one to get me through college and be reliable for the next few years.

scarebird:
What year is the motor?

KyleKetterhagen:
It’s a 79’ 301 and I’m going with what I believe to be a 90s to early 2000s 5.3

scarebird:
Do you have access to a welder?

FormTA:
I used dirty dingo mounts on my LS1. It gave me the ability to move the engine where I wanted it which eliminated the need to notch the frame for the alternator *low mount F body LS accessories.
